@scoop I was wondering how long it took from the time your physician started the process of prescribing Brinsupri till you actually took the first dose? I am asking because my "general community based pulmonologist had me sign papers on September 17 and so far I have not heard a word. I did send a phone message to the office inquiring if they heard anything and so far radio silence. My pulmonologist has been very good to me but if I have to change to a Bronchiectasis center I will to help improve my QofL by getting more up to date treatment.

@dpaula It took 4 weeks. The holdup it seems was the volume of patients requesting Brinsupri and the prior authorization process. I suspect that now that they know the process subsequent requestors should move along more quickly. Have you sent a message through the portal? I remember sending a few to check status.
